Jenn's 30 Day Challenge

Week 3 After week 2 this was a much better one for me, I felt normal again and was able to make time to push myself a little harder. I of course went to Zumba as I do once a week, and instead of 10 minute workouts I pushed for 15-20 minutes. There were many changes around the house too, so I spent a lot of time doing housework. Week 4 - MY LAST WEEKThis week consisted of more renovations, I worked my butt off! I was so sore after that I had to take it easy for a couple days and do light exercises. After doing 30 days of exercise, I feel refreshed. I can not imagine not exercising every day now. It’s embarrassing that I was going months without exercise and cleaning was my only form of physical activity. Getting ready for the day started to feel like a marathon because I was so out of shape. Now I don’t run out of breath nearly as often and I feel way better about myself. I am making a promise to myself to always do at least 10 minutes a day. My energy has increased and my appetite has shrunk. I managed to lose 5 pounds over the course of these 30 days, I lost an inch off my bust, and inch off my waist and an inch off my bum/thigh area. If I can do this I know you can too. The first week is the hardest and trust me it gets easier and more enjoyable. I actually enjoy it now. It’s all about making small attainable goals and sticking to them, don’t set yourself up for failure.I know this 30 day challenge may seem not like much to some, it was a big deal for me. I would consider this whole experience life changing and I have now developed a new habit. Thanks for reading! - Jenn
